Answer:

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

-1y = -4

Divide both sides by -1 to get y by itself.

-1/-1 = -4/-1

y = 4

It's positive because there are two negatives, which mean they cancel out.

6. A tank contains 100-gallon of pure water. At time t = 0, a solution containing 2 lb of salt per gallon flows into the tank at

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Q represent the amount of salt in the tank at time t.

$\frac{dQ}{dt}= flow\ in - flow\ out\\ \\flow\ in=3\ gal/min*2\ lb/gal=6\ lb/min\\\\net\ gain\ in\ tank\ volume=3-4=-1, henceflow\ out= \frac{4Q}{100-t} \\\\\frac{dQ}{dt}= 6-\frac{4Q}{100-t} \\\\\frac{dQ}{dt}+ \frac{4Q}{100-t}=6\\\\The \ integrating\ factor\ is:\\\\IF=e^{\int\limits {\frac{4}{100-t} } \, dt }=e^{-4\int\limits {\frac{-1}{100-t}}=e^{-4ln(100-t)}=(100-t)^{-4}}\\\\Multiplying\ through \ by\ IF: \\\\(100-t)^{-4}\frac{dQ}{dt}+ (100-t)^{-4}\frac{4Q}{100-t}=6(100-t)^{-4}\\\\$

$Integrating:\\\\A(100-t)^{-4}=-2(100-t)^{-3}+c\\\\A=-2(100-t)+\frac{c}{(100-t)^{-4}} \\\\at, t=0,A=0\\\\0=-2(100-0)+\frac{c}{(100-0)^{-4}}\\\\c=0.02\\\\A=-2(100-t)+\frac{0.02}{(100-t)^{-4}}$

72 is equal to 80% of a number n. Write and solve and equation to find n. Write the percent as a decimal.

valentina_108 [34]

Well I'm not sure what the answer would be since I'm not that smart but I did get the answer of 90, I did this by dividing 72 by 80 which equals .9 and I multiplied that by 100 and got 90.
